Looks kinda like a mix of Gripen and Hornet with a single Hornet engine. Front end, fuselage, and intakes look Gripinish down to the sawtooth in the leading edge about midspan, but with the Hornet's LEX added. And the tail end looks like a Hornet but with a single engine.

Interestingly, Boeing designed the aircraft to meet all the USAF requirements and no more so as to ensure min cost/price, even though USAF provided a "cost allowance" for performance that exceeded requirements.

Interesting, not the most attractive aircraft.

I respectfully disagree, not that appearance is most important, it appeals best to my eyes

But fits the genre of USAF tactical aircraft most closely compared to the others, in my opinion

I thought so too, then remembered Boeing's offering is a joint venture with Saab,

Designed and built by Saab, because they've demonstrated with the Gripen they can do so to both time and budget.

Shame that Saab seem to been edited out of the project altogether, going by all the promotional material.
